Alabama AG Sues Birmingham for Removing Rebel Monument
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (CN) — Alabama’s attorney general sued the city of Birmingham on Tuesday, demanding that it pay a fine of $25,000 for tearing down a 115-year-old obelisk dedicated to Confederate soldiers.
Attorney General Steve Marshall, a Republican, told Birmingham’s mayor on Monday that he was duty-bound to enforce a state law that prohibits the removal of any monument older than 40 years old.
